Imphal, November 07 2010:
The proscribed Kangleipak Communist Party (Military Affairs) has extended warm greetings to the women of Kangleipak (both hill and valley) on the occasion of Ningol Chakkouba.
A press release issued by its Secretary Military Affairs Lanheiba Meitei said that culture and tradition play significant role in identifying a Nation/country.
So, it is the responsibility of every citizen of Kangleipak (Manipur) to safeguard the culture and tradition of the land, Lanheiba added.
He contended that Manipuri women have been playing important role not only in nurturing culture but also in resolving various other societal issues.
Lanheiba said that a determined Irom Chanu Sharmila has been crusading against AFSPA for the past 10 years.
Maintaining that the courage of Manipuri women has drawn the attention of the whole world, Lanheiba added that many persons from outside the State have come to meet Manipuri women in order to pledge support to their cause.
It is because of the hardwork of the women of Manipur, he added.
Lanheiba wished, "May the courage, hardwork and determination of Manipuri women bring the dawn of freedom to Kangleipak, and may the same be prevail in future as well" .
